Setup & Launch Guide: Survey Templates

Learn how to customize and launch Survey Experience templates, including updating question types, response options, lead capture fields, branding, and testing before publishing.

Survey Template Setup Guide

Overview

Survey experiences are designed to collect feedback, preferences, opinions, and customer insights through a series of questions. Unlike Product Finders or Personality Quizzes, surveys do not require recommendation logic or outcome configuration. Instead, the focus is on creating clear questions, selecting the appropriate question types, and capturing responses.

This template includes:

  • Intro Screen

  • Four Question Screens

  • Lead Capture Screen

  • Thank You Screen

The question screens in this template may use a variety of question types, including:

  • Standard Buttons

  • Select All That Apply (SATA)

  • Stack Rank

  • Sliders

  • Text Input

  • Dropdown

  • Question Matrix

  • Multiple Choice

  • Review this collection of articles to see all the question types you can use

Not every survey template will use the same question types or question order. The purpose of this guide is to walk you through how to identify and update each question type so you can customize the survey for your specific use case.

💡 Important: Unlike Product Finders and Personality Quizzes, Survey Experiences do not require outcome logic or recommendation configuration. The primary setup effort is updating the survey content, response options, and question type settings to align with your survey objectives.


Creating an Experience from This Template

To launch this template:

  1. Navigate to Builder → Template Gallery.

  2. Locate this template in the gallery

  3. Hover over the template and select Use Template.

  4. Enter a name for your experience.

  5. (Recommended) Apply your Style Guide to automatically brand the experience.

  6. Click Create.

The platform will generate a new experience using the template structure and selected branding.

Once created, you can customize the content and survey questions to fit your specific use case.

💡 Tip: We recommend creating and applying a Style Guide before launching templates to streamline setup and maintain consistent branding across experiences.


Step 1: Apply Your Brand Styling

The first step is to replace the template branding with your own. If you're style guide is already created, then this will happen at the template experience creation step.

Review and update:

  • Colors

  • Fonts

  • Logos

  • Background images

  • Buttons

  • Imagery

Applying your style guide first makes it easier to visualize the final experience as you customize content and recommendations.

Haven't created a Style Guide yet? No problem! You can still apply your branding directly within the experience.

  • From the Builder Map, select the Design icon in the toolbar to open the Experience Design panel.

  • From there, update your brand assets—including colors, fonts, logos, buttons, and imagery—by selecting each element and customizing it to match your brand. Changes made here will automatically be applied across all screens in the experience by clicking "apply".

Recommended Action

Complete all branding updates before modifying copy, logic, or product feed configurations.


Step 2: Update the Intro Screen
